Bio:
Shots Feb 7th only, at 2 pounds and 2 months, reaction 9th. Missed Mar 7th booster, arrived new home Mar 20th w/large chest and frail body, poor coat. Thrived on unlimited food and activity, but had trouble breathing April 10th and began to fail. Vet found nothing Fri 14th; 2nd vet gave oxygen Sat AM 15th, X-ray showed enlarged heart, weight now 4 pounds. Died Easter Sunday of late stage congestive heart failure, undiagnosed until autopsy, apparently minor heart defect from birth. Organs engorged w/mis-routed blood flow, lungs ruined. Right-side heart big. Last days typical of untreated heart attacks. Breathing extremely labored and forceful both in & out with rasping noise. Pitiful cries for help even in his sleep. Treated for infection that did not exist. Struggled to live and tolerated mis-directed treatments with grace. May God have mercy on us all.
